Paul mentioned something about Collin and lunch. So that was where we were the next day, in Paul's car, with Collin, headed to the nearest Taco Bell because I had the hugest craving.
School was such a drag today. All I had accomplished to do was listen to the teachers drone on. And I couldn't stop thinking about Danny. Somehow that smirk would not learn my mind. He had a really good smirk. I couldn't not admit that.
"So, Collin, how did the day go for you so far?" Oh, Paul, so formal with his words.
They were both in the back, I was driving. We decided that since my car was the biggest, a tan Jeep Wrangler, it'd be the best for the three of us to go in. And I really wanted to drive, I liked the feeling of being free from the school for a few moments and I had that small feeling to actually leave if I wanted to.
"Whatever, it was alright, just boring, man." Collin replied with a smile.
I turned on the radio, my phone was plugged in through the AUX. A Blink 182 cover started to play.
"Ahh, I feel you, Collin. Danny, please." he called to me. "With the music again, play something good." Paul complained.
"Hey! Blink 182 is good. And this is 5 Seconds of Summer covering them! It's genius!" I defended.
"Come on! Put on some real music."
"Guys, please." Collin said.
We both shut up. I turned down the music and rolled down the windows, feeling the cool air bite at my bare skin. I saw the light in front of me turn red, so I tapped the brake and slowed down to a stop. The Taco Bell was just to my left, so I hit my turning signal.
"Drive-thru or inside?" Paul asked.
"You know me," I said. "Drive-thru only,"
"Who's paying this time?" Collin asked.
I looked at him through the rear view and smiled.
"Okay, so last time it was Collin with the pizza and the time before it was me... Paul, pay up."
He cringed and pulled out his wallet, handing me a Chase credit card. The light turned green and I took the turn, going onto the Drive-Thru lane.
"Hey," I heard someone say behind me.
We were back in school and I was in Biology, it was a course I had to take. I was already ready to dissect my brain so there would be some sort of entertainment.
I turned my head and saw a familiar face, though I couldn't pin a name to them. She had this beautiful blonde waves and her just herself screamed 'SNOBBY'. I smiled and turned back to the front of the class.
"Dafnie," she said.
Looking at her again, I rolled my eyes, expecting a beat down.
"What," I huffed.
"I just wanted to ask if maybe you wanted to come over to my party this Friday." and yet, I was still waiting for the blow. "I'm Jessie," she added with a white toothed smile.
I had to process my thoughts for a moment before I realized that what the fuck Dafnie are you doing hesitating.
"Yeah, I'd love to." I said.
"Great! Awesome, you can bring Paul too."
Okay, I knew her. Of course I did, we've been going to the same school since we were kids. We actually used to even be friends back in middle school. I used to like her a lot, like, look up to her, I mean. I'd wanted to be her with her easiness, and the way guys looked at her. And how proper she was. She was a real lady while I was...
I smiled back and looked back at the front. My Biology teacher, Mr. Jackson was a good teacher. He was about in his fifties and knew what he was doing. He taught other advanced classes as well.
I remembered my schedule by heart.
Homeroom - Ms. Martin
English 104/ Creative Writing - Mr. Blomquist
Math - Mr. Burge
French 101 - Ms. Thom
LUNCH
World History - Mrs. Peabody
Biology - Mr. Jackson
So now, after ten more minutes, TIME TO GO HOME. You don't understand how excited I was. After a week of being here, I was ready to die. Summer, please come back. Or Winter Break last forever.
Mr. Jackson droned on until it was time to go and I bolted out of that class like there was a fire in there. Paul was already by my locker, flirting with some girl. She must be my locker neighbor. I walked over to them and turned the dial on my locker, getting it open. I tossed all my books in there since I didn't need anything and slammed it closed.
"Hey Daffy, ever met Izzy?" he asked.
I rose my eyebrows then looked at the girl.
She had the best hair I had ever seen. It was brown with this red the swarmed in it. I was even jealous.
Spoiler! :
"Isabelle actually," she corrected him. "Hi,"
"Nice to meet you," I smiled.
Collin came up from behind them and caught Isabelle's attention. A small blush started to grow on his face and he walked over to me, covering his face with his hand as he pretended to cough.
I gave him a small smile and looked over at Isabelle. She seemed to know why he was blushing and she was definitely the cause.
I wasn't going to even ask.
"So, anyone else invited to Jessie's on Friday?" I asked, pushing away the awkwardness.
"Yeah," Collin said.
"Same," Isabelle said, looking at Collin.
Oh, how cute.
"Paul, Jessie told me to take you." I said.
"She already invited me, so I'll take you." he smirked.
I just shook my head and started to walk down the crowded and loud hallway toward the exit. People were talking, not even minding the fact that their talking could burst my eardrums. People, be courteous. I followed everyone out to the parking lot and got to my car, crossing the extremely exaggerated green lawn to it.
"Dafnie," and shivers sprung onto my body.
Turning on my heel, I saw Danny in all his glory. His hair all swoopy and that side smirk that made my heart melt. I have never felt like this about any boy.
"Danny," I said.
"Maybe we could take a smoke together?" he suggested and my body felt on fire.
"Sure," I smiled.
"I mean since you totally ditched me with Paul a few days ago..." that cocky son of a bitch.
"Just get in my car," I sighed.
"Who said we were going anywhere?"
He got off the sidewalk and walked over to me, leaving a foot of space between us. You don't understand how badly I wanted to run my hands through his hair.
"I'm not staying here,"
"Are you a safe driver?"
"Trust me," I smirked.
